Скачать или смотреть Horatio & Calleigh - "Don't Speak" (DuCaine)

To everyone who's wondering why Horatio and Calleigh haven't worked together in 26 episodes (and counting), here's a possible explanation.

I am a DuCaine shipper, but I think all CSI:Miami fans could watch this video. It's ridiculous that these two characters who have such great chemistry — and are the two leads — don't interact anymore (the nine-word exchange in "Man Down" and the five-second "two-shot" in "Chain Reaction" don't count in my book).

The video — mostly from Cal's POV — starts off with Horatio and Calleigh at odds with each other, and then flashes back to the beginning of the problems, which I think started when H struck up a relationship with Marisol. I think this created a tension between H and Cal -- she may have felt slighted that he confided in a complete stranger instead of her (though not necessarily in a romantic way.)

Anyhow, in the end I think Cal accepted H and Marisol's relationship, but after Marisol was killed, everything went downhill for Horatio and Calleigh. That's when they stopped interacting. In the video, I present my theory of why: Basically, Cal is worried that all the losses in Horatio's life (Speed, Marisol, Raymond and even Eric's injury) are hurting his relationship with the team and the way he does his job. She notices he's become withdrawn and distant, (and that his body count has been piling up), so she tries to help. When he rejects her help, she lets him know how she really feels about the way he's been acting lately. The black-and-white scenes are meant to convey Horatio and Calleigh's memories.

There really is no explanation for why H and Cal haven't said a word to each other all season and have hardly spoken in over a year, but since TPTB refuse to explain it, I thought I'd give it a shot. Cutting the scenes and dialogue together was tricky, but I think it worked out in the end. Plus, I really love "Don't Speak" by No Doubt -- it's a great song and lyrics perfectly fit what's happening to Horatio and Calleigh's friendship — pretty much because they really "don't speak" anymore...

Now I definitely don't want this distance to carry on for much longer -- so please, if TPTB are listening, bring back DuCaine!

Please let me know what you think! Feedback is much appreciated -- thanks!
